“We expected management to have documented plans to support Regional Council’s priority of having a well-maintained transportation system,” the auditor general said.​

The audit found there are no performance targets for road and sidewalk conditions.​ “Establishing targets and measuring results is important for management to help determine whether a program is successful and achieving intended results,” the auditor general said.​ ​

The audit also looked at the construction inspection and warranty practices at Transportation & Public Works, and Planning & Development.​ ​ Both business units need to do a better job of monitoring to ensure work was properly completed, and that new subdivision roads and sidewalks are acceptable before taking over from developers.
